Childish Joy

The natural state of man, the way God created us, is to be happy.

Look at children and you will see.

It can happen that you suddenly feel flooded with light

"Quite unexpectedly, it can happen that you suddenly feel flooded

with light, that all of a sudden you are being projected upward,

all the way to your higher self. You are dazzled by this beauty

and immensity, and it feels as though from this moment on nothing

could bring you down from these heights. Unfortunately, this

doesn’t last. You have to pick up the threads of your everyday

life, with its same worries, its same temptations, its same

weaknesses. You feel cut off from your higher self, like a

fragment cast aside, rejected. Some time later, you again feel

enlightened, illumined, but once again it doesn’t last long, and

you begin to feel discouraged.

No, you must not allow yourself to be discouraged by the

fluctuations in your consciousness. If you persevere in your

spiritual work, one day, after all the highs and lows, the light

that comes to visit you will no longer leave you. You will have

crossed to the other shore, and you will be saved forever."

le goût, au niveau subtil, n'est pas dans la bouche, il est réellement dans le coeur

Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait penser, le goût, au niveau subtil, n'est pas dans la bouche, il est réellement dans le coeur : tu goûtes les choses dans ton coeur. Le coeur, c'est là où le mal est inexistant, là où le mal ne peut pas entrer. Jamais le coeur ne peut être mauvais, ce n'est pas sa nature, un coeur peut être blessé mais jamais mauvais. On peut dire de quelqu'un qu'il a « bon coeur » mais pas qu'il a « mauvais coeur », cela n'existe pas ; on devrait plutôt dire qu'il est un « sans-coeur », c'est à-dire qu'il n'a plus de coeur, plus d'âme.

Les paroles ont un goût.

Les paroles ont un goût. Tu dois goûter ta parole car celle-ci sort du coeur à travers la bouche, dans la salive, et ensuite elle est donnée comme un fruit qui a bon goût ou qui n'a pas bon goût. Tu dois voir que dans ta parole il y a une saveur. La parole qui a bon goût est la parole qui vient du coeur pur, qui est avec l'âme ; si ton coeur est avec ton âme, ta parole aura une âme.

All of Him

That force that holds electrons in their orbit and planets in theirs, explodes incessantly within the stars above and is the darkness that fills the empty space—-that force is a single whole and it is God.

It is not all of God. It is an expression of God. All of it could disappear in a single instant, and for Him nothing would have changed.

Where is it that you can find all of God? Wherever He wishes to be found.

Right now, He hides within some scattered branches placed upon an autumn hut.

‘The Father and I are one’

"When Jesus said, ‘The Father and I are one’, he was summarizing

the greatest mystery of religion. And one day we too must be able

to say the same words.

Some will say, ‘Yes, but we’re not Jesus. He was the son of God,

whereas we are sinners.’ The Church has tried to make Jesus the

equivalent of God himself, the second person of the trinity, the

Christ, a cosmic principle, thus creating an infinite distance

between him and human beings. But is this the truth? Jesus

himself never said such a thing; he never claimed to be

essentially different from other people. He said he was the son

of God, but he did not claim this divine lineage for himself

alone but emphasized the divine nature of all humans. Otherwise,

what would be the meaning of the phrases ‘Our Father in heaven,’

‘Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect’ and also ‘The one

who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact,

will do greater works than these’?"

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

The number 2

"From the point of view of Initiatic Science, the number 2

represents the 1 polarized as positive and negative, masculine

and feminine, active and passive. As soon as there is

manifestation, there is partition, division. In 1 there can be no

creation, because no exchanges are possible. In order to manifest

and make itself known, 1 has to divide. Unity is the privilege of

God himself, his exclusive domain. In order for God, the 1, to

create, he had to become 2.

In order to create, therefore, God projected himself beyond

himself by polarizing, and the universe was born from the

existence of these two poles. The positive pole exerts an

attraction on the negative pole, and vice versa. This is the

mechanism of action and reaction, which activates and sustains

the movement of life. The cessation of this movement would bring

stagnation and death, a return to the state of original

non-differentiation. The first lines from the book of Genesis

reveal that creation proceeded through successive separations. On

the first day of creation, God separated the light from the dark.

On the second day, he separated the waters above from the waters

below. On the third day, he separated the waters from dry land.

The 1 is an entity closed in on itself. To leave this state, this

entity must become 2. "

Explosive Joy

Joy is an overflowing, an explosion. Something enters a person's life for which he could never be prepared and his previously tidy self erupts in song, dance and joy.

Approach the Divine with a calculated mind and there is no window for joy. Embrace the infinite beyond mind and let joy surprise you.

Le goût

Le goût est ce qui cherche quelque chose d'autre, sans arrêt. C'est pour cette raison que tu manges : toujours pour goûter. En réalité, tu vas vers la perfection du sens du goût, qui est la soif d'un monde supérieur : vouloir goûter et expérimenter une conscience supérieure. La perfection du sens du goût est la soif du savoir qui éclaire et du feu qui agit, la soif à la fois de voir et de faire apparaître. Tu veux voir un monde supérieur, non pas avec tes yeux, mais en le goûtant, et tu veux le réaliser.

Dance with the Other

As a mother and the baby she holds in her arms, as a father and child, as two in courtship or in marriage, so we are with Him. One chases, the other runs away. One runs away, the other chases. One initiates, the other responds. The other initiates, the one responds. It is a dance, a game, a duet that plays as surely as the pulse of life.

Until one falls away and becomes estranged. Then the other looks and says, "This is not an other. We are one and the same." And so, they return to each other's arms once again.

It is a great mystery, but in estrangement, there is found the deepest bond.

Time Machine

If you could travel back in time, what could you change? The world, its past and its present all belong to the Creator. All is as He wills it to be.

Perhaps you could replay some crucial scenes and distance yourself from the mess that occurred. Perhaps you could jump in and grab credit for some of the good.

But for that, you don’t need a time machine. All you need is to stand right where you are and say, “I messed up. I lost my chance. I learned my lesson and now I will do things differently.”

You will change yourself. You will change your past. You will say, “I am no longer the person who lived in that past.”

In fact, you do have a time machine.

We Are the Child

Your child is not like everyone else; your child is you.

And yet, your child is not you; your child is his own person. A paradox.

Our souls are that paradox—on a greater scale: the nexus between God and His universe, where His own breath becomes His creation.

That is why we are called His children. And we call Him our Father.

T.Freeman

God’s Fishing Net

The soul begins in an intimate, essential bond with a Source Beyond All Things. Even as she invests herself into a material world, into a human form, that primordial bond remains imprinted deep within her.

It is that bond that pulls her constantly to return, like a magnet pulling its lost other half. Our incessant search for meaning, all our striving for that which we cannot grasp, all is an expression of this dynamic, this thirst to return.

This desire to return is innate, yet it must be awakened. The soul must first realize she is distant. Return in all its strength and passion is found, therefore, in the soul who has wandered far from her true self and then awakened to recognize she is lost.

We are like the child being pushed on a swing by her father—the further our souls are thrust away, the greater the force of our return.

As well, the drive to return is God’s fishing net. For in its search to reunite with Him, the soul finds God in all the matters of this world. And so, these too are pulled in. And the deeper the descent, the greater the treasure.

Pleading to Exist

Isn’t this strange, that a created being should take part in its own creation? Can a caricature hold the pencil in his artist’s hand? Can the characters of your own story edit your words? Can the figments of your own imagination tell you what to imagine?

Yet here we are, created beings pleading with our Creator, “Grant us life! Good life! Nice things! Be out there, in the open! Get more involved with your world!”

Here we are, in the inner chamber of the Cosmic Mind, where it is determined whether we should be or not be, participating in that decision.

We are created beings, yet there is something of us that lies beyond creation.

T. Freeman

C'est le rôle de l'homme de recevoir la Lumière

C'est le rôle de l'homme de recevoir la Lumière, de la porter, de lui constituer un corps et de la mettre au monde. Il est donc important de savoir ce que l'on veut, d'être déterminé, engagé, dans une certitude absolue. Celui qui doute de la Lumière au moindre souffle de vent contraire ne la connaîtra jamais car elle ne pourra pas s'approcher de lui.

O.Manitara

God formed Man, but He built Woman.

God formed Man, but He built Woman.

She is the framework of the home in which he lives, the ground on which he builds, his walls and windows upon the world and the roof that stands over his head.

She is the crown that sets him to rule over his world. Without woman, there is no man.

Power of speech

"There is a great deal that could be said about the power of

speech – how it creates forms, how it acts on the psychic and

physical organs not only of those being spoken about but also of

those speaking and of those hearing what is said. Knowing how to

be fair, moderate and precise when we speak is one of the

greatest qualities there is.

 We write with a pen, but we also write with our tongue. Our

every word is a letter addressed not only to human beings but to

all the entities living in nature. Regardless of who you are

addressing, you should try to speak with a golden tongue. Yes,

for the human tongue can be made of various materials – lead,

copper, iron, pewter, silver or gold. A golden tongue brings

souls light and peace."

Le corps que nous avons

Le corps que nous avons est un corps qui nous a été donné à la naissance, mais comme nous ne sommes pas nés dans une tradition de la Lumière, nos corps subtils ont été accaparés par des mondes invisibles que nous ne connaissons pas. Ces mondes, nous les nommons sans les connaître. Nous parlons de la pensée, des sentiments, mais nous n'avons pas rendu conscients ces mondes, nous ne les avons pas nettoyés. Nous n'avons pas éveillé ces mondes, en regardant réellement ce qui était caché derrière eux, pour nous faire un corps sur la terre. Si nous voulons avoir des corps subtils, nous devons les reconquérir.

O.Manitara

They have banished God into exile

"They have banished God into exile.
They have decreed He is too holy,too transcendent to belong in our world.They have determined He does not belong within the ordinary, in the daily run of things.And so they have driven Him out of His garden, to the realm of prayer and meditation, to the sanctuaries and the secluded places of hermits. They have sentenced the Creator to exile and His creation they have locked in a dark, cold prison.And He pleads, "Let me come back to my garden, to the place in which I found delight when it all began."

Out of diversity is born a perfect harmony.

"We are all individual beings, each with our own life. But we are

not alone; we are part of a whole, and the issue we face is how

to reconcile the demands of our individual life with those of

collective life.

Each individual is special. Cosmic Intelligence created such a

diversity of creatures, and we must not try to put them all on

one level and make them all the same. Everyone has the right to

express their differences, their originality, provided they are

in tune with the whole, as in an orchestra. What a difference

there is in shape, material and sound between the violin, cello,

piano, oboe, flute, harp, trumpet, cymbals and bass drum! But out

of this diversity is born a perfect harmony."
